Ever since the hat was invented by Valve Corporation in 2009, mankind has grappled with questions of fairness, worthiness, and pride – at least as they pertain to microtransations in free-to-play games. Shooty battle royale Apex Legends is the latest to posit an answer, that being "the Battle Pass should cost more money".

EA has announced plans to essentially split Apex Legends' battle passes in two, meaning there'll now be two shorter ones per season. Oh, and they'll also only be avialable for real money, rather than being purchasable using Apex Coins. Players aren't fans of these proposed changes, as you'd expect.

The plans, which are currently slated to kick off with Season 22, were outlined in a blog post. Basically, the gist is that rather than one season-long battle pass as has been the case up until now, the game will offer two half-season ones, with one kicking off the season and another taking over at its halfway point.

The big sticking point is that this switch is being deployed alongside another big one - battle passes will no longer be buyable using in-game Apex points, instead each costing $9.99 each that you won't have the option to simply earn by playing the game.

Get ready to rumble, Legends – it’s time we had our first collection event of the season! And we hope that you’ve got an extra friend or two, because Quads is coming to Apex Legends! This all new 4-Legend squad takeover is the best kind of chaos, amped up with new strats and team comps. And you already know that there’s a fresh batch of skins. Collect all 24 mind-bending event cosmetics before the event ends to receive Lifeline’s Prestige Skin, “Apex Corruptor.” Plus, earn 1.5x towards Prestige Skin Challenges during the entire event!


QUADS TAKEOVER
No longer will you have to decide which of your three friends will be in your squad for the Apex Games. Bring all three! Until the end of the season, your squad of four will take on 14 other squads in an attempt to become the Apex Champions. Team compositions? They’re a whole other vibe with a fourth. Strategies to outsmart and outplay your opponents? We hope you’ve got your comms down. This is a new gen of Apex.

The loot pool has also been updated to avoid in-fighting for ammo, attachments, and regen items. You may even have a small chance to obtain a Blue or Purple kitted weapon! Unfortunately, Tridents are too small to squeeze a fourth on board, but let ‘em walk. If you’re more of a team player, there’s always Evac Towers or Valkyrie’s Ult. And Skyward Dive, along with other Legend abilities, have also been updated to support a fourth.

COLLECTION EVENT ITEMS
First things first: direct unlock is back. All 24 Double Take limited-time cosmetics can be unlocked via event packs† or individually. And we’re bringing a ton of Legendary skins for this one: Octane, Crypto, Fuse, Conduit, Revenant, everyone’s new fav Alter, and an arsenal of weapons including one for the Havoc (which a lot of you have been using lately).

Unlock ‘em all before the event ends to automatically receive Lifeline’s Prestige set including her new skin, “Apex Corruptor,” and finisher, “RidDOCulous.”

REWARD TRACKER
You know the drill. Earn up to 1,400 points per day, challenges refresh daily, and they all stack with your Battle Pass—allowing you to multitask and minimize the grind.

RANKED RUMBLE
Finish off your Ranked season by finding out who takes the top in our very first Ranked Rumble: August 3 to August 6, 2024. Upheaval’s regular Ranked season will be shorter when Ranked Rumble takes over, but this is all about the best of the best. Each Rank Tier will qualify for their very own leaderboard, with each one having an unique badge that can be earned.

Squad up with your friends to complete your 10 Ranked Rumble Matches, pushing your score and placement as high as possible. No need to opt-in. Everyone who has already achieved a rank this season is auto-eligible.

Your Ranked Rumble placement will have no impact on your RP or Ranked Season placement or rewards. Those are locked in before the Ranked Rumble becomes available. How will YOU stack up against everyone else in your Rank?
